DIY Anthropologie Inspired Ornament!

Well I can't believe the weekend is coming to an end, for some reason it always seems to go by in the blink of an eye. It was our Holiday Event at the store this Saturday, so I have not been on the blog much this past week, as I have come home and crashed after getting ready for it all week!
Can you believe Thanksgiving is THIS week! I can't!
I am so not with it this year! I'm sure though, that Josh is glad I didn't pull out the Christmas music and decor at the end of September this year!

I'm so ready....NOW..... to get my place all set up for Christmas! I have put out a few things here and there, but I haven't pulled any of my boxes down from storage yet. That will be my task this week!
I HaVe made a few NEW decorations so far this year though!

If you don't know me, one thing you should know is that I LOVE Anthropologie! I could..... and I have gotten lost in there home stuff for hours! I always find something I can't live without! So when I was browsing there Christmas decor online the other day I came across this ornament. Now it's one thing to spend money on something I know I will love forever. However, I am kinda a klutzy person, and fragile things never seem to make it very long around me....or Josh....maybe its something in our water..... So I didn't really want to spend almost $30 for this glass Ornament. So what's a DIY girl to do!?

Well I just had to see if I could make one myself! The only items I didn't have were the glass ornaments, which I bought at Michaels; I bought a set of four, for around $5.

So my DIY Anthropologie Ornament rang in at only $1.25!

Not bad!

This is what I started with! Oh, and don't forget the hot coco when making Christmas decor!

It's very important! I was drinking mine out of our cute Anthropologie Initial Mug.

Wow!!! It totally came to 'life' when you added the glitter!! Very, very pretty!!I'm your newest follower...come check out my blog when you have a chance. :-)Shantel @www.itsapricelesslife.blogspot.com

LOVE LOVE LOVE. Ran out the next day & got my supplies. I found some paint pens that can be used on glass rather than using a paint brush (don't have the patience for that-LOL) also they were out of the White Gold glitter so I got a container of tiny glass beads & a silver glitter. I covered the whole thing in glass bead then did a VERY light sprinkle of the glitter. They turned out really cute though I like the colors on yours better though. THANKS for the great idea!!!!

Oh my gosh! I love your version! I am just getting through some if my emails from Christmas week and saw yours on my version of this ornament. But I like yous way, way better. I am trying to figure how I can make just one more ornament before they're all packed up Sunday! Great job!
